Saturday's happenings...

I can never think of a good title when I'm planing on writing about such random things. I always end up using the day that I'm posting on, musings or a combination of the two. As you can see, today is a day for a combo!

I'd like to start out with what I think is the most important... the names of our three new albino mice! Yes, we've decided on a name. And they are: Glen, Tony & Steve. Cute, eh? We thought so too. We're getting a little better at telling them apart, but it's still a working progress. We rely mainly on their size and personality. 

• Glen is the biggest of the three and semi shy. He'll let you pick him up with no problems and he'll even sit in your hand. He's not the biggest fan of being touched while he's roaming free in the cage, though. 

• Tony is the medium sized mouse and the sweetest! He's been okay with us touching him from day one. He'll even go so far as to jump in our hands! He's great. 

• Steve is the tiniest and the most skittish. He runs when you put your hand in the cage, but he never bites. He needs the most work. 

They're ALL great and just the cutest little things ever! I don't regret getting them for one second!

In movie news... We watched this weird ass movie called The Woman the other day. I wasn't aware that it was a Jack Ketchum film until I saw his name in the credits at the beginning. I knew then that we were in for a treat. I mean, if it was anything like The Girl Next door we would be. And I was right! This guy has a serious torture complex and just loves to see women when they're down. And yes, he even likes to see them kicked when they're down. Personally, I have no problem watching a movie with blood, guts and violence, but not a lot of people do. So more than likely, Jack K. and I would get along well. Back to the movie... of you in any way liked The Girl Next Door, then more than likely this is the movie for you. I mean, what's not to like? There's a wilderness woman being kidnapped by a rich lawyer and tied up in his cellar. And let not forget about the abused wife and perverted son! Have I caught your attention yet? Thought so. My advice, watch it for yourself and see what you think. 

Okay, I believe I've blabbed enough for now. Don't forget to check out the pics. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

 Not sure what weed this is, but is resembles young cattails.

 I love the faded road in the background.

 Macro weed!

 Gravel road.

 Faded tire tracks in the gravel.

 Dead weed.

Christmas cards.

And lastly, Charlie. This was taken last night when he decided to come in and nap.

This, that, and the other...

Hey everyone. I know, it's been forever since I've wrote a good solid blog. Well, it's time for a change. I've got a lot on my mind and I feel the need to share. Everyday is still very hard for me. There's not a minute in the day that I don't think of my grandma. I still can't believe she's actually gone. It doesn't seem real. But, as John Mellencamp would say, "Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone." That's my motto for the day. Hopefully I can stick to it. Well, here we go...


First, I'm going to start out with a couple movie reviews. And the first on my list is, The Unborn. We rented it a week or so ago. All in all, it wasn't a bad movie. But, I've seen better. I didn't care too much for the lead actress, Odette Yustman. She just couldn't get her screaming voice right. Her co-star, Megan Good, totally rocked the scream queen vote for me. And that's bad, considering there's only like one part where she had to scream. I don't want to go into too many details. Anyway, it's about a girl who kind of gets possessed by her "unborn" twin brother. That's pretty much all there is to it. So, I give this little number a 6.5/10. It's a good one to watch when there's nothing else at the movie store. Ok, now for The Girl Next Door. And I'm not talking about the one with the ever so foxy, Timothy Olyphant. I'm talking about Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door. It's about two young girls that have to live with their aunt after their parents pass away. And the thing they have to go through are so bad, it was hard for me to watch. And I can watch anything. I highly recommend this movie. You can either watch it on Chiller or rent it from Netflix. We've done both. But I have to say, the rented version is better because it's unrated. So, I'll give this little number a 9/10. Please, watch it. Lets see, what else did we watch? Oh yea, we watched Gran Torino. But I'm not going to go into details about it. We watched this movie the night before our grandma passed away and I really don't want to think about it too much. So, I'd give it a 7/10. Oh yea, we bought A Haunting In Connecticut. I don't really remember this one too much. We were still really upset at the time, so it made it kind of weird. But I do remember that it was good. So, for now I'll give it an 8/10. At least until we get a chance to watch it again. Ok, that's all the movie reviews for now...


What else has been going on... not too much really. We've been swimming a lot in the past couple of weeks. And so far (fingers crossed), we haven't got burned, lol. But summer's not over yet. We still have a while to get wet. The only downside, the place that we swim at isn't as deep as it used to be. I'm mean, you can still do some pretty cool flips and handstands, but that's about all. Hopefully, we'll get a bunch of rain one week and it'll get deep again...

Hmm, what else? Oh yea, we got Gossip Girl season one in the mail like a month ago. We watched it all in about a week, lol. I never thought I'd say this, but it was pretty good. It definitely kept me wanting more. I know one thing, I will so be in line to get season 2, lol.

And also, we got The O.C. The Complete Series in the mail like 4 days ago. We got it on eBay for like $49. Extremely cheap. We just started watching The O.C. towards the end of last year. We've pretty much loved it ever since. We've only watched about 5 episodes though.

Ok, I think that about sums it up for you. Not everything, but almost everything. Until next time people, you know what to do. Peace...
